Taking Calls

> To reject the call double click the Command button.

During a call, click the Command button to end the call.

Volume Control

Use the volume rocker:

> Push up for volume up.

> Push down for volume down.

Note: See the next section for

advice if you wear the Connect in your left ear.

Wearing the Connect in your Left Ear?

The Connect volume controls are set by default for users

wearing the earpiece in their right ear.

Volume

Rocker

If you prefer to wear your earpiece in your left ear, follow these

simple steps to swap the volume orientation so that you can

still push up for volume up and down for volume down:

1. Put the Connect in your left ear.

2. Hold down the Command button, and push and hold the

volume rocker in the up position. Hold both buttons together

for about 3 seconds.

If you want to switch back, put the Connect back in your right

ear and repeat this procedure.

Note: If you reset your earpiece, it reverts to the default volume

control orientation (right ear).

Changing the Ear Bud

Your Connect is supplied with a choice of ear buds in different

sizes so that you can choose the one that ﬁ ts best. If you want

to change the ear bud, remove the attached one by gently

lifting it away from the Connect.

Gently press the replacement ear bud onto the Connect and

push it ﬁ rmly to secure it in place.

Using 2 Phones (Multipoint)

Up to 2 devices can connect to the earpiece at the same time. If

either phone rings, you can answer it with the earpiece.

Use the Pair Me command to put your Connect back into

pairing mode to pair another phone. Any currently connected

phone will be disconnected during pairing, so you will need to

reconnect afterwards.

Which Phone is Used for Calls?

When you have two phones connected you can always answer

an incoming call from either phone.

If you initiate a call through the earpiece (for example by saying

Phone Commands) then the call takes place on the primary

phone: the one that connected to the earpiece ﬁ rst.

Call Waiting and Conferencing*

If you receive an incoming call while you are already on a call

the Connect will play a tone to alert you.

To Do This

End the active call and

answer the incoming call

Click the Command button

Keep the active call, reject

the incoming call

Double click the Command

button

Put the active call on hold,

answer the incoming call

Hold the Command button

for about 1 second

Switch between the active

and held call

Hold the Command button

for about 1 second

Conference the active and

held call

Hold the Command button

for about 3 seconds

If you are using multipoint you can also use these controls to

switch between calls on both phones.

Note: You can only conference together calls received on the

same phone (although you can have conference calls running

on both phones at the same time).

* To use these features, your phone and network must support

call waiting and call conferencing.

Listening to Audio

The Connect supports A2DP audio streaming. If your phone

supports the A2DP proﬁ le then simply start playing music or

any other audio (including turn-by-turn directions from a GPS

application on your phone) and it will automatically transfer to

the earpiece.

If the phone rings the audio will mute. You can use your voice

to answer or ignore the call. Or:

> Click the Command button to accept the call.

> Double click the Command button to ignore the call.

The audio will resume when the call ends.

If you want to exit A2DP streaming mode to do something else:

> Click the Command button to activate the Connect’s voice

control feature. If you do not say one of the Connect’s voice

commands within a few seconds the music will resume

playing; or

> Double click the Command button to activate your phone’s

voice dialing feature (if available).

Reset the Connect

If you are having problems with the Connect, you can reset it

and start again.

Resetting the Connect will clear all the stored pairing settings,

reset the volume orientation to the default and put the device

back into pairing mode.

To reset the Connect:

1. Delete any existing pairing information from your phone

and turn the phone off and back on again to clear the phone

memory.

2. Make sure the Connect is switched on but not connected to

any phones.

3. Hold down the Command button and Vol + together for

about 5 seconds.

4. The Connect will announce that it has been reset.

5. Now use the hardware switch to turn the Connect off and

back on again.

You will now need to pair your phone with the Connect again.
